DORIS supported national authorities in quantifying oil and gas sector methane and flaring emissions and identifying commercially viable abatement pathways aligned with international climate commitments.
Project outline
The Country Level Emissions Assessment provided a comprehensive evaluation of methane and flaring emissions across the upstream oil and gas sector at national level. The objective was to establish a robust baseline, identify major emission sources and infrastructure gaps, and assess technically and economically viable abatement opportunities aligned with the Global Methane Pledge and international reporting frameworks.
Services delivered by DORIS
DORIS delivered a structured, data-driven national assessment of methane and flaring emissions across upstream assets. This included development of emissions baselines, asset-level source identification, and reconciliation of operator data with internationally recognised calculation methodologies.
The team conducted detailed flaring and venting diagnostics, evaluated infrastructure constraints, and screened technically viable abatement technologies. A techno-economic assessment was undertaken to compare mitigation options, supported by high-level capital and operational cost estimates.
DORIS also developed a prioritised implementation roadmap, identifying short-, medium- and long-term measures, potential funding mechanisms, and policy enablers. The final outputs provided decision-makers with a practical framework to accelerate emissions reductions while strengthening energy security and monetising previously lost gas.
